    By any barometer, US politics has hit extreme weather in 2016,
    yet*global warming*ranks near the bottom on the list of voter
    concerns. You would never guess it from the US election...Global
    warming is no longer just a documentary film by Al Gore. .... But
    for the third year running the world is on course to exceed a record
    temperature in 2016 — having suffered the hottest July in history
    last month. People are right to worry their children may not have it
    as good as they did. Yet the changing planet plays little role in
    their foreboding. By any barometer, US politics has hit extreme
    weather in 2016, yet global warming ranks near the bottom on the
    list of voter concerns. Illegal immigration, on the other hand, is
    near the top, even though net inflows came to a halt five years ago.
    Is democracy on course to duck the biggest challenge of our age?
    ...In the near future it surely will....Climate alarm is no longer a
    monopoly of environmentalists....But can voters connect the dots?
    Will their experience of climate change translate into public action?

    The prospect of*climate*catastrophe. For years, people have lamented
    how bad things might get "for our grandchildren," but Rieder tells
    the students that future isn't so far off anymore....This group has
    gathered to ask - with a climate crisis looming, is it a good idea
    to have children?...If you're in your 20s or 30s, thinking about
    maybe having a kid, digging into the science and understanding what
    we're looking at - like, it's not an intellectual problem at that
    point. It's really a life problem, like a heart problem...

    Whilst very few are saying that*climate change*is a direct cause of
    conflict, it is certainly increasing the likelihood. Last month
    research published by the Potsdam Institute for*Climate*Impact
    Research found*climate*disasters increase the chance of*...*

    Rolly:*Climate-change*denier to speak at energy summit - and you're
    paying for it

    The keynote speaker for Uintah County's annual Uintah Basin Energy
    Summit is a controversial*climate-change*denier noted for right-wing
    propaganda and smear campaigns against scientists who warn
    about*global warming*. Marc Morano has been criticized for scolding
    on his blog scientists who warn of climate change, then releasing
    their personal emails, resulting in threatening messages..His
    appearance as keynote speaker at a government-sponsored event on
    energy issues has raised alarms from environmental groups who warn
    he is no expert but merely a propagandist for a particular political
    ideology...."I could see it if an oil and gas association brought
    him in to speak to their skepticism about the climate-change
    argument," said Matt Pacenza, executive director of HEAL Utah. "But
    this is a government-sponsored event, and he is being paid with
    taxpayer money.".

*EDITORIAL: Time to tell climate-change deniers to shut the hell up and 
back Hick’s plan to save Colorado 
<http://www.aurorasentinel.com/opinion/editorial-time-tell-climate-change-deniers-shut-hell-back-hicks-plan-save-colorado/>*

    The Aurora Sentinel   if a handful of GOP state lawmakers are too
    stupid or corrupt to do the right thing ...*Their sophomoric
    simpering *isn’t about tax policy or wine and beer in grocery stores
    vs liquor shops. ...  it’s about massive famines, unemployment and
    weather disasters that will rip through human civilization like
    nothing has before....Hickenlooper and others will grab the wheel
    before these ignorant legislators drive Colorado and the planet over
    the cliff... there are so many ignorant, naive or outright corrupt
    lawmakers in Colorado, ... all obstructing what must be done for the
    good of the planet — our only hope to break the impasse is with
    leaders like Hickenlooper...But.... only the stupid and corrupt
    don’t see that these problems pale in comparison to the
    unprecedented calamity that will envelope us all if we don’t
    act...*So the time to listen to the driveling nonsense of science
    deniers at the State Capitol has ended*. . We insist that you ask
    your legislative and congressional candidates whether they’re on the
    bus to solve the reality of global-climate change, or whether we
    have to throw them off to save them from themselves.
